The Melted Rubber Humans are not a band, but a laptop computer and the twiddly fingers of Captain Melted: together they make a twisted experimental electro that will set your grey matter into thinking mode, your heart into feeling mode... and may even get you out of your armchair occasionally to shake your limbs in a spastic impersonation of dancing. Some folk might call the Melted Rubber Humans purveyors of "intelligent dance music". Some folk might say they are beyond an exact definition. Some folk may say they are the musical equivalent of a long, protracted orgasm. Who knows what folk think? Folk think all sorts of different things, eh?

Hi, thanks for your message. Yes we do share some common interests and I love the energy of your images. I will have a good look at your site. My website is www. lauradaligan-art. com Best Wishes, L
How are ya man? Hope evrything's fine there. Just invitin ya to check out 3 new tracks already up. I'm hardly prolific, creatin an album per day, I'm fuckin high on dubstep and related and I can't leave my old pc, creatin tunes night and day without even sleepin (fuckin addicted). Guess I have more than hundreds of tunes, finished and unfinished, to be released yet. Then I'll try to upload them more and constantly if I can. The problem is that I create more than I can live through, when I finish some tune which I think 'Wow! Holy shit!' suddenly I remember that I have hundreds of older tunes to be released first, hence now is time to ignore that and go uploading more and more. Stay tuned and keep in touch, mate!
Hey mate, sorry for being so slow in catching up. Fancy a gig and a beer thru the week? I'm going to the Captain's Rest on Tuesday and Thursday this week if you fancy it?

Thanks for sending the CDs. I gave them both a listen to, but to be honest neither of them really do it for me, so I don't know if my feedback would be in any way useful. Technically there's nothing wrong with Charles' stuff, but it just doesn't rise above the millions of 'boys in their bedrooms' stuff I've heard over the last 30 odd years... it needs something more, that special spark of genius, that extra fire... d'you know what I mean? As for your CD, well the mix is all to fuck, which makes it really difficult to listen to, and the music just doesn't work with the poetry, for the most part. Somke of it is interesting to listen to, but it doesn't feel like it was composed for the poetry, rather that the two have been cobbled together. I seriously suggest you listen to Jim Morrison's epic poem thing (can't remember the title now) as an example of how you might take it... or at the other extreme, listen to Patti Smith. Both of these poetry/ music fusions work really well, but for different reasons. Yours kind of falls in a grey area between the two. Perhaps if you invested in serious studio time, with the assistance of a producer you could make something a lot better, because more than anything it's the sound quality the spoils your CD... and my advice, more than anything, would be for you to NOT send out any more CDs of such poor audio quality.
Probably you're going to think I'm a total cunt for saying all this, but it'll probably serve you better in the long run than some kiss-ass horse-shit. If I tell you it's great and it isn't, am I serving you well? All I can say to you is that you've got potential, but you should go back to the drawing board and really work like fuck on it.... and get rid of the cheezy synth stuff, it already sounds dated... and ease off the echo fx machine. As for Charles, he's a very competent musician, but I'
I love Melted Ruber Humans. They are chewy. This music is wonderful and i hear a great deal of talent in between the notes, but MRH.... What in the heck is your zombie plan?
Hey Mr. Sunshine just read your email sounds like a serious couple of weeks. Just listening to your tune now, you are so right about looking up and I'm starting to think that my blue square is related to all this. I love the little blue square, I can certainly live with death now. Miss you all xxxx
